Freeze-thaw damage causing cracks and seam stress

Hoboken, NJ Roof Replacement (Residential Re-Roofing)
If your roof is at the end of its life, replacement is often more cost-effective than repeated patching. We’ll help you choose the right system for your building type, roof slope, and exposure conditions.
Roof replacement options may include:
-
Flat roof systems (for brownstones and apartment buildings)
-
Shingle roofing (for pitched residential roofs)
-
Low-slope solutions (where drainage and rooftop access matter)
-
Upgraded flashing, edge metal, and drainage improvements
-
Code-compliant ventilation solutions where applicable
We plan logistics for realities like limited staging, sidewalk access, and building schedules, and we keep the jobsite clean and safe.
Brownstone Roofing in Hoboken, NJ
Brownstone roofs often feature flat or low-slope roof decks, parapet walls, and multiple penetrations (vents, skylights, bulkheads, HVAC). Because these roofs sit close together, small issues can become shared problems fast.
RoofShield provides brownstone-specific services including:
-
Flat roof installation and replacement for brownstones
-
Parapet wall and coping inspection/repair
-
Leak repairs around bulkheads and roof access points
-
Drainage improvements to reduce ponding

Hoboken, NJ Flat Roof Installation and Replacement (Flat Roof Specialists)
Flat roofs dominate Hoboken, Nj residential architecture, especially on brownstones and multi-unit buildings. A “flat” roof is never truly flat, it’s a system that relies on proper slope, seams, flashing, and drainage.
Our flat-roof work commonly includes:
-
Full tear-off and replacement (when needed)
-
Overlay options (when conditions allow and code permits)
-
New flashing at parapets, skylights, vents, and edges
-
Drainage improvements to reduce ponding
-
Walk pads or protected paths for rooftop traffic
If your flat roof is bubbling, cracking, constantly ponding water, or leaking in multiple areas, it may be time for a replacement rather than another patch.

Missing or damaged shingle repairs
-
Ice-and-water protection upgrades where appropriate
